STRENGTHS

• Resilience- With a "skeleton" of Durasteel, Armor Weave "skin", and Laser Reflective Armor Plating built from Quadanium Steel all protected by De-Ionizers and Ionization Buffers, the EbonSteel Handmaidens are extremely difficult to disable without a Lightsaber to cut them down.
• Close Combat- Armed with an Electric Defense Grid, Vibroblades, and Pistols, as well as an extensive knowledge of Martial Arts, the EbonSteel Handmaidens are deadly in close proximity.
• Hypervigilance- With ten Sensor Clusters or "Eyes", each possessing Inferred, Thermal, Ultraviolet, and Night Vision modes and equipped with Motion Trackers, Sonar Mapping, and more, it's nearly impossible to approach an EbonSteel Handmaiden without being detected.

WEAKNESSES

• Slice Susceptible- While the Combat Programming is extensive and complex, any Slicer worthy of the title could easily reprogram a dormant EbonSteel Handmaiden to serve a new Master.
• Over Engineered- Each EbonSteel Handmaiden is a unique, and complicated machine. Without returning to the manufacturing plant that created them, it is almost impossible to properly repair damage.
• Expensive- Beyond the costs of materials and the hours of research and development, the actual construction is a labor intensive process. Each one is a work of art, having individually sculpted faces with unique inlays and filigree decorating their armor.

DESCRIPTION
The EbonSteel Handmaidens were created to serve as Bodyguards and Assassins for Empress Xazzex Xivar. Each one is a unique, and intricate work of art as well as an extraordinary Combat Droid. With only thirty-two (32) of these deadly masterpieces in existence, a pair of which were "gifted" to the creator, Zenva Vrotoa, they are rare treasures and one of the most elite security forces in the Galaxy. Special care went into the creation of these elegant killers, possessing uniquely sculpted faces with individualized Electrum inlays as well as intricate and unique patterns of Electrum and Quadanium filigree decorating much of their armor. Clearly feminine in design they have soft, sophisticated synthetic voices and are equipped with a TransLang Module to ensure they are capable of translating or speaking nearly any language for their owner.

Creating the body of these Bodyguards from the "bones" out, each layer of these Droids either increases it's resilience or it's lethality. On a framework of Durasteel, the EbonSteel Handmaidens internal mechanisms are safeguarded with Combat De-Ionizers and Ionization Buffers. It's central processes are even linked to an Emergency Reactivator system. Synthetic muscle fibers have been added to the Droids limbs, making them dangerously powerful in melee Combat. Their internal systems, and strength systems are then wrapped in a layer of Armor Weave, protecting it from debris and minor damage. Over all this is an intricate network of Quadanium Steel Armor Plating. In addition to the protection provided by the metal itself, each individually sculpted outer shell is lacquered with a Laser Reflective coating.

To further accentuate the unique appearance of the EbonSteel Handmaidens, the Armor Weave cloaks they wear are easily interchangeable, allowing an array of color and pattern choices. The replacement must be designed specifically for the Handmaidens, requiring specialized tailoring and attachment points. These attachment points connect to a series of moterized track systems hidden in plain sight amid the intricate artwork covering their Pauldrons, Bracers, Breastplate, and Grieves. The very cloak they wear becomes a moving, articulated part of their body. Easily allowing their cloaks to wrap around arms and shoulders to form sleeves, encircle their torso to form robes, and concealing the legs with various styles of skirting.

While in combat, the cloak can swiftly alter its configuration to allow for billowing screens of Armor Weave between limbs, masking movements and potentially disrupting incoming attacks; or gathering the cloak against its body as another layer of protection while maximizing its own mobility. Furthermore the Handmaidens can utilize their Cloaks as weapons in their extensive Martial Arts programming. Binding a targets head to blind them, or a limb to gain better control in a fight. Trapping weapons in a net of Armor Weave, limiting their threat, while opening the opponent to devastating counters. Or simply as shields to offer some protection to their Owner.

Armor and elegance do not a Bodyguard make, one requires a formidable offense to provide an adequate defense. Incorporated within their intricate Armor is an Electric Defense Grid, making even contact with them potentially dangerous. Each one possessing a physical strength far superior to most known organic species of comparable size, the EbonSteel Handmaidens employ an extensive knowledge of Martial Arts programming specializing in debilitating strikes, limb breaking, and techniques designed to counter Jedi fighting styles. In addition to these close combat programs, each Droid is armed with Vibroblades that deploy from beneath their heavily armored Bracers, above the hand. These twin Thirty-six (36) cm, double edged Fighting Daggers in conjunction with their immense strength, are capable of finding weaknesses in nearly any armor a Person or Droid might utilize. Not all threats are willing to close the gap between themselves and these Droids. Thanks in part to it's numerous targeting systems and sensors nods or "eyes", one of which is built into each hand, as well as an unhealthy amount of Assassin Droid sub routines, every EbonSteel Handmaiden is an expert Marksman. Each one is armed with a pair of Ravage Heavy Blaster Pistols which are kept in holsters built directly into their Back Plate.

Additionally to help compete with threats at a distance, Xazzex Xivar has been provided with Thirty (30) Rifle Systems. Half of them are designed for engaging Heavily Armored targets and light vehicles in the form of Wraith Particle Rifles. These sniper style weapons fire explosive bolts of energy capable of nearly complete incineration of a target. The other half of the rifles systems are Perpetrator Multi-Munition Rifles. These Rifles are capable of Semi- and Full-Auto Blaster fire, as well as fire explosive Flechette rounds similar to grenades. Finally each EbonSteel Handmaiden has an open Wrist Mount on each arm. These are compatible with most modern forms of Wrist weapons from Flame Throwers, to Rocket Launchers, to Blasters and more, allowing them to be armed with more versatile and situational equipment. As a final touch, the EbonSteel Handmaidens are equipped with several Runyip-Leather Belts and Porches which are typically worn at the back of the waist or fitted to a thigh. Able to hold as many as three (3) Grenades, additional Ammunition, First-aid equipment, or potentially several of any small device their owner might want to give them.
